Gentry was selcted by the court to protect the property for the creditors. An invoice has been made and the stock altogether $6148. After proper court proceedings the property will be offered for sale. Nothing has been heard from Mr. Thompson and it supposed he has gone for good. Joe Smith who has been Mr. Thompson's clerk, will turn to Indianapolis.
ALBERT MOAT HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Albert Moat, electrican at McMillens Mill, was driving from Bloomington, Monday, in a farm wagon, and as he attempted to cross the railroad at the Clear Creek church, the accommodation struck his horses killing one of them and badly injuring the other one which is still living, but is not expected to amount to anything. It was after dark and there is a cut on a sharp curve at this crossing and he was Uicky to have not got a little further on the track, when he would have been killed.
Elma Deckard, of the sixth grade, of our schools, and a pupil of Miss Glen Butcher, was winner in the spelling contest held at Harrodsburg Wednesday. Twenty-one pupils of the common schools of the township participated in the contest. She will represent Clear Creek township in the county contest in January. All honor to the Smithville pupils and their excellent corps of teachers.
Saturday night was a "big night" at the hall. The Red Men took in nearly 40 new members which took nearly all night. The work of the visiting teams from Oolitic and Bloomington showed careful training and was given with an accuracy of a clock and the "ticking" of signs. About 400 were present and a lot of "eats" was spread after the "finale."
In getting your accounts square with the first of the year, please do not forget the News Office.
